Beauty doesn't work that way, and to pretend it does is to cheapen it. Beauty, true beauty, is so earthshattering that it tears your heart out and leaves you sobbing on the floor.    Report

I've killed my thread before it's been started.  Blarrr, I just drank a lot of water though, and that seemed to offset the sodium i've been intaking lately.  And I'm talking to myself, giving myself advice, and I prrrooobably should stop now.

There's a book called  FAT FLUSH ...the diet in that book is really good for flushing out the water weight (when fat isn't fat).....you have to eliminate so many spices ( including pepper) and eat lots of lean protein...including Omega 3 eggs and lots of veggies.  You have to drink this special drink in the morning and evening.....and cranwater.  There is a lot to this diet....and it can get expensive...I would suggest getting the book...it's by Ann Lousie Gittleman.  She also has a Fat Flush Fast....but it's an eleven day diet that has a one day fast.  Anyway...I'm gonna do it after the Holidays.....I did it for a week....just to give it a try...I lost 3 pounds but more importantly...my stomach got FLAT!!!  I was like WTF.....I thought that was all fat on my tummy....but it water weight.....it went from jiggly to tight...only 3 pounds were lost....very odd to me...lol   So...just to start you off........eat lean proteins......eggs high in Omega 3.......lots of low carb veggies..... drink hot water with lemon juice....spices allowed are ginger, cayenne, mustard, cinnamon,cumin...eat parsley, cilantro.  Anyway....way to much to remember....grab the book if you can...     Report

So is this something that you just do once in awhile or is it something that she recommends you do all the time? And the fast - do even have like smoothies or anything? Actually I do need to go to the bookstore tonight so I'm going to look into this....Interesting....Does this mean you look hot enough to wear your M&C leather vest now??    Report

My mom is doing it...I borrowed the book......  I only tried this for a week.....and it was starting to do good things for me ( I take huge doses of Allegra...and I swear, it makes me retain water).....I swear, my stomach got tight.. I guess it was water weight flabbing it out...and I only lost 3 pounds! I'm going to do it after the holidays and see how it goes.  My mom is doing it and she's looking really good.  I don't have the book that talks about the fast....but I might go pick it up and check it out. This diet is expensive though...you need all kinds of vitamins......organic veggies.....flaxseed oil......whey protein...ugh...the list goes on....  I can't wait to start it for the long haul....it's just too hard with all the get togethers and wine.....and wine is a huge no no....so is coffee...   I love my M&C leather hoodie......that's one purchase I don't regret.....    Report

OK, so I went to the book store to get some gifts and TOTALLY forgot about looking at this book until I got home. I'm such an airhead...Uh oh, no coffee? I may have to ween myself off before I can start this diet! Definitely wait until after New Years to start it though - I agree! I love your hoodie too. I just thought I remember you saying a couple weeks ago that you hadn't worn it yet.....maybe that was someone else.....I know I love my fleece one!    Report

I 've worn it a few times in the last few weeks ( I feel so tough  when I wear it with my CV boots..hehe)......maybe it was somebody else...or maybe I said that a long time ago....or maybe I had too many glasses of wine.hehe I can't wait to start this again....my mom is having great results...she WAS doing Nutra System for Diabetics...but it wasn't regulating her....this one is working for her.  My Step father is now SKINNY....due to Nutra System.  He's lost so much weight....he looks really good.     Report
